Answer:

AB = 1.33

Step-by-step explanation:

AB and QR are in a ratio of 3 to 8 so we can create this proportion:

(3x+5)/24 = 3/8

cross-multiply:

8(3x+5) = 72

divide each side by 8 to get:

3x + 5 = 9

3x = 4

x = 4/3 or 1.33 repeating

Exercise 2.4.2: Proving statements about rational numbers with direct proofs. About Prove each of the following statements using

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Proof: Product of two rational numbers

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The product:

$A * B = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = 1 * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{3}$

Proved, because 1/3 is rational

(b) Proof: Quotient of a rational number and a non-zero rational number

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The quotient:

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{2}{3}$

Express as product

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{3}{2}$

$A / B = \frac{1*3}{2*2}$

$A / B = \frac{3}{4}$

Proved, because 3/4 is rational

(c) x + y is rational (missing from the question)

Using direct proofs.

Let x and y be

Such that:

$x = \frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

The sum:

$x + y = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}$

Take LCM

$x + y = \frac{3+4}{6}$

$x + y = \frac{7}{6}$

Proved, because 7/6 is rational

<em>The above proof works for all values of A, B, x and y; as long as they are rational values</em>
